Global Competence | Education
By Anthony Jackson In matters of national security, environmental sustainability, and economic development, what we do as a nation and in our everyday lives is inextricably intertwined with what governments, businesses, and individuals do beyond our borders.

Lead and Support One teacher leads and another offers assistance and support to individuals or small groups. Station Teaching Students are divided into heterogeneous groups and work at classroom stations with each teacher. Parallel Teaching Teachers jointly plan instruction, but each may deliver it to half the class or small groups.
